Title
Syria conference should be held ‘as soon as possible,’ Ban says during visit to Russia,
UN News Centre
Note
The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was in Russia. The UN press release omits any mention of Russian arm sales to Syria. Instead, the SG was anxious to arrange for more talking - and proceeded to beg the Russians to convene the U.S. - Russia co-sponsored conference on Syria asap. Ban Ki-moon also said "the crisis in Syria is first and foremost on our minds." Which is patently false, as the Israel-fixated UN Human Rights Council will demonstrate when it starts its next session in a week.
